Chapter 87: Plausible and Illusory

Zuo Shaoyang's hand was clutched by him, and he couldn't help it if he wanted to listen to it, so he smiled bitterly: "Then ......, I'll help you sit down first, there seems to be a small bench next to you......"

"Don't move! Don't talk either! We'll talk about that later! The man said in a low voice.

Zuo Shaoyang had no choice but to stand in the dark like this. There was only the old man's heavy breathing and occasional moaning in his ears, the voice was originally hoarse and low, and occasionally there were a few delicate gasps, Zuo Shaoyang listened a little creepy, thinking that this person was a eunuch? How can a eunuch grow a beard and his voice change back and forth?

At this moment, there was a faint sound of noisy footsteps in the distance of the alley outside the door, and the sound of stepping on the snow was clattering, and soon it was outside the door, and the light came through the crack in the door. It was as if the people outside were carrying lanterns to protect them from the wind.

Then I heard a man's voice say, "Damn, where did this guy go?" ”

"Yes, it just so happened that the mother's snow was so big, I couldn't see the footprints on the ground." A man said.

The other said, "Could it be that you are in the room?" ”

Another old voice said, "Impossible! He ate me in the back and hit me in the thigh, and the injury was certainly not light, but I was afraid that I would not be able to get into the room, and I must have run down the alley. Pursue! ”

"Yes!" The others agreed, and walked forward with a noisy footstep, the light flickering in the crack of the door, and then it also dimmed.

Zuo Shaoyang was suspicious when he heard this, and asked the old man next to him in a low voice, "Are they looking for you?" ”

"Yes, it's my enemy."

Zuo Shaoyang screamed bitterly in his heart, thinking about why his grandmother was so unlucky, and he encountered other people's vendettas. What to do? I regret very much that I helped people in without asking clearly, who would have thought that there was no reason to get involved in this kind of thing.

The old man seemed to guess his thoughts, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I ......, I will never tire you." I'll be gone when I'm resting for a while. You ......, help me to sit down, just sit on the ground......"

Zuo Shaoyang laughed dryly, and didn't dare to ask the reason, so he helped him slip along the wall and sat down slowly.

He stood there with a little messy head, and he was even more nervous when he was involved in the vendetta for the first time, and he didn't know what to do next, but he only heard the painful breathing and occasional low moans of the old man desperately suppressed.

After a while, Zuo Shaoyang's mind calmed down a little, thinking that the person had already been saved anyway, and if he pushed it out at this time, he would not be able to get rid of it, and people would still find trouble if they wanted to find it, so it was better to save people to the end, whether it was a curse or a blessing depended on luck.

Thinking of this, he bent down and asked in a low voice, "Old man, are you hurt?" Do you want me to light the lamp and show you the injury? ”

"Don't ......, don't light the lights! They're just afraid they haven't gone far. ”

"Oh." Zuo Shaoyang didn't dare to speak.

After a while, the man groaned twice and whispered, "Just now, ...... you said ......, you are a ...... Xiao Langzhong? ”

"Hmm."

"This is your home...... Herb? ”

"Yes."

"Medicine Cabinet...... Where is it? ”

"On the shelves in the outer lobby, this is my kitchen."

The man gasped for a moment before he said, "Can you ...... Get me some ...... Wound medicine comes, my medicine ...... When we were fighting...... Dropped. This will be ...... Wound ...... It hurts......"

"Okay! I'll get it. - But you have to let go of my hand first. ”

"I'm sorry!" The old man let go of his hand.

Zuo Shaoyang stood up, he knew that the old man was worried that once he walked away, he would hide and call. Now let go of his hand, maybe not trust himself, but have no fear, from the fact that he is so thin but the strength of holding his hand is so strong, you can know that this person must not be weak in martial arts, his eyes are sharp, he should be able to see things at night, at this moment he may have a hidden weapon such as a hidden arrow in his hand, as long as he moves around, he will immediately release the hidden weapon!

Zuo Shaoyang couldn't see it in the dark, and he didn't know if his speculation was right, he didn't look like he was calling for help, and people didn't hurt him, and his enemies didn't know that he saved him, as long as he didn't say it, it shouldn't be a big problem. Coupled with the suspicion that the other party might use a hidden weapon, he didn't dare to mess around.

He relied on his memory and slowly groped his way forward in the darkness, and finally came to the lobby, where the windows were more numerous and larger than the kitchen, so it was slightly brighter than the kitchen. The shape of the medicine cabinet can be seen dimly.

Touching the place where the wound medicine was placed, he pulled open the medicine and took out two small porcelain bottles, which contained the bruising pills he had concocted last night, "Restoration and Activating Blood" and "Restoration and Activating Blood Cream"

These two medicines are actually one kind, one is a powder and the other is a plaster. All come from the Qing Dynasty's famous recipe for bruises and injuries, "Rejuvenation and Blood Soup". This prescription is used to treat bruises, bruises, and blood stasis blockade. It is especially suitable for flank bruising and unbearable pain.

He fumbled his way back to the kitchen with the medicine and said, "Now I have to light the lamp, otherwise I can't see where your injuries are, and I can't give you medicine." ”

"Don't!"

"Then ......, I'll help you rub the medicine." Zuo Shaoyang groped and reached over.

"Don't touch me!" The old man's hoarse and delicate voice sounded a little flustered, and he reached out in the dark to block his hand, and gasped a few times: "Give me the medicine, I'll ...... Do it yourself! How do you say to use it...... That's it. ”

Zuo Shaoyang muttered in his heart, this old man is really a strange person, and he was afraid that Lang Zhong would touch him, so he handed over the two small porcelain bottles in the dark: "This big one is a powder, take it internally." The small one is a plaster, which is applied externally, applied to the sore area, and then applied with a plaster. With that, he handed over the plaster in his hand that was specially designed for applying external plasters. Then he scooped a scoop of water from the water tank and handed it to him to take the medicine.

The old man took it, took the medicine with cold water, put down the water scoop, took the external wound medicine, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You turn around!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang almost laughed: "I can't see the black light!" ”

"Turn around!"

"Okay, I'm afraid of you!" Zuo Shaoyang had no choice but to turn around.

In the darkness, the voice of Suo Suo was heard behind him, and the old man seemed to be undressing and applying medicine. After a while, I heard him breathe a sigh of relief and whispered, "Okay, thank you." ”

"You're welcome, what else do you need?"

"No, go back to sleep, just close the kitchen door from the outside. I'll sit in your kitchen for a while, and then I'll go, and I'll close the door for you as I go." ――Don't worry about me stealing rice from your kitchen, do you? Hey hey"

Zuo Shaoyang also laughed dryly, thinking that there were only some wild vegetables and a little black noodles in the kitchen, nothing valuable, listening to his breathing and speaking voice seemed to be smoother than just now, and his martial arts skills were good, he must not be afraid of the cold, so he could freeze uncomfortably, so he whispered: "You always talk and laugh, then you can sit here for a while." I went to sleep. ”

"Well, thank you for saving your life, there will be a picture in the future!"

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, you people in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that a lot of money is stolen and robbed, I don't dare to ask for it, and there is no need for other thanks, as long as you don't cause me trouble and cause trouble. It's just that it's hard to say this, so I laughed dryly, groped out of the kitchen door, pulled the door over, buckled it from the outside, and hung the copper lock without locking. Although there is no gold and silver treasure on the four walls of the house, the medicine in this medicine cabinet is still worth some money, this old man may not be rare in the rivers and lakes, after he left, the hidden door was open for people to come in and steal it.

After tossing for so long a day, Zuo Shaoyang didn't feel sleepy, and he couldn't sleep because of the cold, and the sky was bright before he knew it.

As soon as Zuo Shaoyang woke up, he immediately got up, hurriedly got down the ladder and came to the lobby, seeing that his mother Liang had not gotten up yet, and the copper lock hanging on the kitchen door was also very good, he hurriedly took off the copper lock, pushed the kitchen door open and looked inside, in the morning light, I saw that the kitchen was empty, and the old man had disappeared last night.

Zuo Shaoyang was afraid that the old man would be seriously injured and die at night, and that would be troublesome. Now that he was gone, I felt a little relieved, walked to the back door, and sighed, and found that the latch of the back door was well tied, and there was no trace on the ground. It's as if nothing happened last night.

That's weird! Could it be that last night's incident was just a dream of my own?

Zuo Shaoyang looked around and saw a water scoop on the ground next to the door, which he scooped up water last night and put it there for the old man to take medicine, which means that it is not a dream. I walked over and took a closer look, and saw a small piece of broken silver in the water scoop, and I picked it up and checked it, it was very light, probably only two or three coins. The porcelain vases of the two wounded medicines were missing, and the broken silver should be the medicine money left by the old man.

Zuo Shaoyang put the broken silver into his arms, this thing can't be given to his parents, otherwise it's hard to explain. Turning around and looking at the latch of the back door that was well inserted, he turned his head to look at the window, which was also inserted from the inside, and looked up at the tiles on the top, and there was no trace of turning, it was really strange, I don't know how the old man got out.
